It is to be kept rolling and to gather an increased momentum with each revolution, until the meeting of tin national Democratic convention in 1904. It is to be a meeting of the national Democratic platform Democrats, and Mr Bryan in to lw the speaker of the day. This is to be the first free silver gun fired for 1904. and it means that Mr. Bryan and the Democracy fur -which he stands is still a power in the land, and its followers are legion. LA VFI L GAmTsTlXG. The race track gambling investment company of Arnold & Co. St. Louis has busted and its financial wrecks are scattered all over the "tate. Its victims runs all the way from the millionaire gamblers to the poor washer woman at her tub this institution was paying live per cent a week on investments, und was gathering in the earnings of the high and the low, the rich and the poor, the laborer n..d tho cap italist, all drawn into the net by the seductive advertising of the get rich quick plan, Tho dividends paid out each week to investors were supposed to come from the winnings on the race tracks, but such were not the facts, as there were but little racing done. The five per cent was paid bask to the victim out of the money he deposited . One man had put in $13,000 and was drawing oiitBO a month. A woman put in 4:209, tho savings of live years' hard labor, and had only drawn out enough to pay one week's board when the bubble bursi.ed. There is weeping und wailing and gnashing of teeth, and thousands of poor and needy have lost their little all. But why ooni-inunt on it? This race track gambling is legalized by the laws of the state, und Sam Cook the man who wants to be our next Governor is the man who lobbied the law through, and got $500 for getting Governor Stephens to sign the bill, Tell the Truth. The county judges are in favor of getting bids kr all county work, loit the officers are not. Who are highest in county affairs, judges or clerks. New Era. Why don't you tell tho truth neighbor, and say the ring is not in favor of it. You know that the county court is run by the Frisco Phelps county ring as well as oth er county officers, and you know that the Herald-democrat is the organ of this railroad. ring, and it is kept up by the taxpayers through the county court allow ing all his bills at his own figures .and not permitting any other newspaper to compete for the work. You know this, but then you get a little sugar to be good and not tell, NOT IX MISSOURI. Another saloon smasher has come to the front in Kansas, her name is Miss Alice Bois. She horse whipped the mayor of Topeka, and then went out and smashed tho glass fronts of four saloons "and two drug. stores and then went to jail. If this thing had occurred in Mis souri, she would have been taken out and hung to the first lamp post. Saloons are held sacred by the law makers of this state, and a saloon license is looked tiiion with as much reverence as the Bi ble. Why, our state legislature has just passed a bill, that a petition for a saloon license shall stand perpetual, instead of having to get oue up every year. What kind of a rabbits foot game is this good roads meeting we read so much about any way. Just take the roads out of iolitics and give the farmers a chance to work their roads by the school district plan, and the thing is settled. Let every school district elect their own road boss, and collect tbeir owu road tax, and work their own roads, then we will hare good roads. Bat eolongaeth County court lias the apitoiuting of jiolitical road bosses, and the handling of road money, the farmers will have no roads, and all the good roads con-reutious in the world cannot rem edy it. Take the public highway out of politics. TRUE DEMOCRACY. The reason why capitalist organization always succeed, where the organization of farmers and laborers always fail is because the capitalists invest their money in political parties that produce legislation in the interest of capitalists The lalKir organizations will go on u strike for better waes, and then go to the poiis and vote for the corporation candidates of the capitalist, who make the laws in the interest of capital and against labor and which brings about the conditions that causes the strikes, The Republican party and theeast-ern wing of the Democratic party belong to the capitalist, but Bryan represents a Democratic party that is in t he interest of the w hole poo pie. It believos in giving the farm ers, and the laborers an equal chance under the law with capital and corporations. Mr, Bryan is a true loyal American, and stands for the great common people, the men who produce the wealth and make the world go round. The Democratic party for which Mr. Bryan Elands is not capitalized by the capitalist. This is why the capitalists light him, and the corporations knife him, und the mangy little hireling newspaper curs are snapping at his heels. Intellectually he towers us fur above anything the corporations can produce us u mountain above u mole hill. IGNORANCE. If the price of silver continues to sink, it will not be long until it will cost nothing. And then Win J. Bryan can unit his harp and rejoice t hut he has accomplished what he hus been fighting for the past iix years; free silver. -New Era. You hud better learn the meaning of free 6:1 ver you pin head before you undertake to discuss it. Free silver us used in a political way does not mean that you can get sil ver given to you merely lor the uskuig. It means that silver bull ion shall have a free right to coin age in to silver dollars the sume us gold. Gold bullion is admitted free to the mint to be mude into gold dollars and free silver ineui.s that silver shall be admitted on the same basis, as a money metal. Now try and remember this, und don't expose your ignorance in that way again. We are positively ashamed of you. A MliI.GELlFTER. After the financial statement had been published in County Clerk Rucker's book and sent t each taxpayer in the canity w hat was the use of the County Court having it published in theHerald-demo-crut at a cost of If l.tiU per square, or in the aggregate of $2VO. New Era. But that would not pay out for the mansion, The "kuuuel" has erected a three story mansion, and "kivered" it w ith a mortgage, and the taxpayers of the state and county must lift that mortgage, and it must be done while the present county ring bosses 'iave charge of the tax payers money. Two years from now we w ill have a different county court, and they may be tho kind that the ring cannot run, they may go as the law requires, and give the county printing out to the lowest bidder, then the 'kunnel" could not rob the taxpayers. He would have to enter into honest competition and "un" his money. Co-operation. Just now the papers are full of the new and great organization of farmer lor co-operation to raise the prices of farm products, this is all right enough, but unless it is a political co-operation to con trol legislation in the interest of f i rulers, then it will fall flat, just liko the old Grange movement. Fa i mors must learn that law makes money, and that money makes prices. A large volume of money in circulation makes large prices for products, aud a small volume of money makes small prices. The single gold standard means half the volume of vour mofal money is cut off, and half price for your products, while, the free silver as well as gold means a full volume of money metal aud aj larger price for your pnducts.

Bryan can unit his harp and rejoice t hut he has accomplished what he hus been fighting for the past iix years; free silver. -New Era. You hud better learn the meaning of free 6:1 ver you pin head before you undertake to discuss it. Free silver us used in a political way does not mean that you can get sil ver given to you merely lor the uskuig. It means that silver bull ion shall have a free right to coin age in to silver dollars the sume us gold. Gold bullion is admitted free to the mint to be mude into gold dollars and free silver ineui.s that silver shall be admitted on the same basis, as a money metal.

Just now the papers are full of the new and great organization of farmer lor co-operation to raise the prices of farm products, this is all right enough, but unless it is a political co-operation to con trol legislation in the interest of f i rulers, then it will fall flat, just liko the old Grange movement. Fa i mors must learn that law makes money, and that money makes prices. A large volume of money in circulation makes large prices for products, aud a small volume of money makes small prices. The single gold standard means half the volume of vour mofal money is cut off, and half price for your products, while, the free silver as well as gold means a full volume of money metal aud aj larger price for your pnducts.
